The Crunch: While the Global Positioning System (GPS) has been around for decades, navigational software has transformed it into much more than just a mapping technology. Magellan, the creator of North America’s first portable GPS device, is innovating software that not only navigates users to their destination but also keeps them safe in the process. The company’s technology even makes it easy for travelers to map their own trails and share them with fellow adventure-seekers. Whether users are looking for an uncharted path or trying to find the most efficient route around an accident, Magellan’s responsive GPS devices and software can help them arrive safely at their destination.
